> There were two Catholic boys, Timothy Murphy and Antonio Secola, whose

 >
 > Faithfully they attended parochial School from kindergarten through
 > their senior year in high school. They took their vows to enter the
 > priesthood early in college, and upon graduation, became priests.
 >
 > Their careers had come to amaze the world, but it was generally
 > acknowledged that Antonio Secola was just a wee cut above Timothy
 > Murphy in all respects.
 >
 > Their rise through the ranks of Bishop, Archbishop and finally
 > Cardinal was swift to say the least and the Catholic world knew
 > that when the present Pope died, it would be one of the two who would
 > become the next Pope.
 >
 > In time the Pope did resign, and the College of Cardinals went to
 > work. In less time than anyone had expected, white smoke rose from the
 > chimney and the world waited to see whom they had chosen.
 >
 > The world, Catholic, Protestant and secular, was surprised to learn
 > that Timothy Murphy had been elected Pope!
 >
 > Antonio Secola was beyond surprise. He was devastated, because even
 > with all of Timothy's gifts, Antonio knew he was just a bit better
 > qualified.
 >
 > With gall that shocked the Cardinals, Antonio Secola asked for a
 > private session with them in which he candidly asked: "Why Timothy ?"
 >
 > After a long silence, an old Cardinal took pity on the bewildered man
 > and rose to reply.
 >
 > "We knew you were the better of the two, but we just could not bear
 > the thought of the leader of the Roman Catholic Church being called
 > POPE SE-COLA !
